Understanding Sterling Silver Value

Silver flatware value depends on multiple factors:

  1. Purity – Sterling silver is 92.5% silver (marked “925”). Plated or lower-quality silver is worth less.

  2. Weight – Heavier flatware sets yield higher payouts.

  3. Brand & Designer – Pieces from Tiffany, Gorham, or Wallace may include a premium.

  4. Condition – While minor wear or tarnish does not significantly affect intrinsic value, well-maintained pieces may fetch more.

  5. Market Prices – Silver prices fluctuate daily, and we base offers on live spot prices to maximize your payout.

Pro Tip: Separate silver from other metals and clean gently to ensure accurate evaluation.
